"In the House – In a Heartbeat" is an instrumental track by John Murphy. The track was featured over the climactic confrontation of the film, and recurs in several scenes in the sequel, 28 Weeks Later. It is also featured in a climactic torture and fight scene in 2010's Kick-Ass, and in a trailer for the post-apocalyptic Ukrainian videogame Metro 2033. The song was covered by British Death Metal band The Rotted on their album Get Dead Or Die Trying, and indie developer James Silva for the Xbox Live Arcade game The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, in a Guitar Hero style mini-game segment where the protagonists play guitar solos. This iteration was included in one of the game's soundtracks when released for free on the developer's bandcamp site, where it was dubbed "Iffenhaus – In a Heartbeat (John Murphy Homage)". An unofficial arrangement of it was used in the final scene of the first episode of the anime Highschool of the Dead. The Italian band Eldritch used the song on the first CD of their 2008 live album Livequake as an intro. It has also been featured in a Strongbow cider advert on British television.
The BBC used the track in a number of their television programmes in July 2011. It was used in tense or large scale moments in Top Gear, The Apprentice and Richard Hammond's Journey To....
"In Paradisum", a song arranged by Richard Marlow, has also received airplay in some countries.
"Season Song", a song performed by British band Blue States, from their 2002 album Man Mountain, was released as a single, containing a remixed version by Ru Da Silva and a "Taxi" (Ave Maria) remix by Jacknife Lee.

Famous quotes containing the words reception, single and/or releases:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“A single strand of silk does not make a thread, nor a single tree a forest.”
—Chinese proverb.
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
